EWKYLSEM

The EWKYLSEM A6-8750 is a bottom-of-the-barrel AM4 chip with single-thread performance in the 3rd percentile and a gaming score of 5.8 out of 100. It's cheap, but you can find used Ryzen chips for similar money that are dramatically faster. Only buy this if you need a bare-minimum replacement for an old system and have zero other options.

Let's be blunt: this thing is slow. Single-thread performance lands in the 3rd percentile, which means 97% of the CPUs in our database run circles around it. Multi-thread is just as rough at the 4th percentile. The integrated graphics might handle 1080p video playback, but gaming is a lost cause. Our gaming score came in at 5.8 out of 100. You could probably run Minesweeper at a solid 60fps, but anything from the last decade will struggle. The one bright spot is PCIe 3.0 support, which at least means a modern SSD won't be completely wasted. But that's like putting nice tires on a car with no engine.

Stacking this against the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is almost cruel. The 9800X3D is a modern gaming monster, and this A6-8750 is a relic. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF is in a completely different universe too. Even the D&H Core i9, which is itself an older chip, runs laps around this thing. The only reason to pick the EWKYLSEM over any of those is if your motherboard literally can't take anything better and you just need a working CPU for basic tasks. In that case, it's not really a choice, it's a necessity. But if you have any flexibility at all, every single competitor on this list is a better buy.

At CAD 127 or around 9,842 JPY, this chip is cheap in absolute terms. But value isn't just about price, it's about what you get for that price. And what you get here is a CPU that loses to chips from a decade ago. The affordability percentile is high because the price is low, not because the deal is good. You can find used Ryzen 3 or even Ryzen 5 chips on the same AM4 socket for similar money that will absolutely embarrass this thing. If you're spending real money, spend it on something that wasn't obsolete when it launched.

The EWKYLSEM A6-8750 is a budget AM4 chip that promises a lot on the box and delivers very little in practice. It's an old AMD A-series APU, the kind of thing you'd find in a dusty office PC from 2016, not something you'd willingly buy for a new build in 2024. The marketing copy talks about 'powerful functions' and 'clear images', but our database tells a different story. This thing lands in the bottom 5% for efficiency, multi-thread, AI, and single-thread performance. That's not a rough patch, that's a pattern.

To be fair, it's cheap. The affordability score sits at the 87th percentile, which means you won't spend much. But you're getting exactly what you pay for. This is a chip for keeping an old machine alive, not for building anything new. If you need a replacement part for a basic home theater box or a web browsing machine, fine. If you want to game or do anything remotely demanding, keep scrolling.

Skip this if you plan to do any gaming, video editing, streaming, or anything beyond basic web browsing and document work. Also skip it if you're building a new PC, because there are far better AM4 options for the same money. If you need a CPU that will still feel usable in two years, this isn't it. The only people who should consider this are those with a dead AM4 system who need the absolute cheapest replacement to keep an old machine running for basic tasks.

This is a replacement part for someone nursing an old AM4 system along, not a CPU you should ever plan a build around. If your current chip died and you need the cheapest possible fix to get back to email and YouTube, this will technically work. But if you're building a new PC, even a budget one, save up a little more and get a used Ryzen. You'll thank yourself every single day. The 2-year warranty is nice, but a warranty on a chip this slow is like a lifetime guarantee on a paperweight.
